It was the richest place in the US before they had a railroad boom. It had the most millionares because of that. It was supposed to be the New York City but then the damn Railroads ruined it! mad:

Anti Hero...if you see this...you live America or Canada? ... you say you live in Canada but used to live in Michigan
BUT there is a Midland Ontario and a Midland Michigan
SO I am confused now...especially since your msn profile says Michigan.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa- Largest Quaker Oats plant and I beleive we are on the list of the top 10 places that enemy countries want to blow up since we have a engineering place that develops stuff for the military and we also have a nuclear power plant nearby. Not completely sure about that though.

ah yes.....we have the Crola Factory here....it's a big hit. We have the oldest running to date highschool football rivalry--99 years i think it is. We play against Philipsburg directly accross from the Delaware river. It's an awsome sight really. About 10,000 people show up to see it and it was on ESPN once.....that was cool.

Houston isn't really "known" for Sam Houston. It was just named after him... I think what the guy who started this topic meant was "what features of your city is it known for".
